Chris Perkins announced his retirement after 28 years from WotC today (effective today). He was one of my favorite Dungeon Magazine writers, I enjoyed his work during 3e, worked a bunch of times with him during 4e (and he made my writing better each time), and again enjoyed his work during 5e. Have a happy and well deserved retirement!
Update, WotC said it was a mistake. Live by the automated DMCA takedown, die by the automated DMCA takedown.

"Report: Hasbro Is Scrapping Dungeons & Dragons‘s Ambitious Virtual Tabletop" - i09
So, "Separated from the Company" is the new euphemism for fired? Not sinister sounding at ALL
".. in an internal message sent to Wizards of the Coast employees, the studio confirmed that Sigil will “transition to a DDB feature,” and attempt to release currently developed extra content for users at no additional cost, while “most of the Sigil team will be separated from the company this week" -i09.com
This article shows us how utterly clueless Hasbro was in regards to the Sigil VTT.
While everybody expected Sigil VTT would make its money through endless stream of micro-transactions, Hasbro apparently thought a VTT was like a regular GI Joe action figure toy -- once you design it, you can have money rolling in with no additional cost or effort.
When they finally learned that's not how VTT works, they lost interest. 
Wizards of the Coast recently announced that the new Sigil Dungeons & Dragons VTT will no longer be a major priority, with 90% of the team laid off. We break out all the details. https://dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/sigil-vtt-scraped-team-layoffs/ #dnd #dnd5e #dungeonsanddragons #sigil #vtt #wizardsofthecoast #wotc #ttrpg
